FiiO X1 2nd Gen

FiiO has truly made some noise in the audio world with the acclaimed X1 lossless audio player. Now the time has come for FiiO to launch the successor: X1 2nd Generation audio player. Upgraded audio architecture, newly designed touch scroll wheel user-interface and improved line output functions together with the addition of Bluetooth make the rejuvenated X1 2nd Gen lossless audio player a worthwhile contender in the audio arena.

With optimised power architecture and circuit design, the sound quality has been significantly improved, resulting in better low-frequency quality and depth. FiiO X1 2nd Gen audio player supports the five common major lossless music formats, at up to 192kHz/32bit resolution.

Comprehensive improvement of hand feel has been achieved with the improvement of the touch wheel. By studying and comparing dozens of designs and through hundreds of experiments and tests, FiiO have developed the unique FiiO touch wheel with higher sensitivity, better anti-interference, enhanced reliability and longer service life.

Advanced listening.

Professional DAC ChipUtilising Texas Instruments' high-quality CM5242, the all-new X1 gets higher signal-to-noise ratio and supports full differential line output to achieve balanced line output function, as compared with PCM5142 of last generation.

Optimised ArchitectureWith dedicated LPF and operational amplifier, FiiO have optimised design of power architecture and circuit at the same time to further improve sound quality, with enhanced low-frequency quality and depth.

Improved Line Output FunctionsIt supports both headphone output and line output, which can be used as audio source to your amplifier to increase your pleasure in listening to music. Line output can be easily set in system settings.

In-line Remote Control FunctionImproved in-line remote control function can effectively adapt to most headphones available on the market, in addition to a new function of volume adjustment.

Wireless Bluetooth 4.0Bluetooth 4.0 system based on F1C81 chipset allows you to easily enjoy the music with reduced latency and high sound quality. Two-way transmission allows it to receive Bluetooth signal while sending Bluetooth signal.

Vehicle ModeIn-vehicle mode provides a perfect link between music and vehicle audio system, which has greatly improved the acoustic quality of vehicle audio system and let you enjoy music on the go. When vehicle engine is ignited, X1 is turned on too. When you shut down the engine, X1 stops immediately.
